He looks like Western COW boy under it.
Mayor Charles Siedler goes to the

The truth of the old adage Fools names
like fools faces" &c. was exsmplifed ves-
terday morning. A SUNDAY MORNING
News reporter noticed a fine looking old
lady sitting opposite him in a Grove street
car, wearing a massive gold breast-pin with
a cameo at either end the bar bearing the

Miss Lillian Olcott, who played Theo-
dora at the Academy last week IS Jersey
City lady, and the News readers therefore
feel a special interest in what can be said

their photos, that the department Is con-
gregation of world famed Aaonises. Police
Headquarters and the Police Stations ara

It gratihes us to know that Rev. Mr..
Meury S only effort with Disque, the Hobo
ken wife murderer, now, IS to prepare him
for the frightful doom that awaits him. We
confess that his effort to secure clemency
for the blood-stained villain did not strike
